Welcome to Litsy!

Sarah Morgan is quickly becoming a favorite author. Like previous books of hers I've read, this was a wonderful character study, or rather, character studies. The plot isn‘t complex and yet the story is. Relationships are at the core, between sisters, between the sisters and their mother, plus various other relationships.

Heartwarming and enjoyable family saga, with lots of lighthearted moments that made me smile.

This book was fine. It had the issue that annoys me across a lot of books of every single character sounding like a self help book/someone repeating what a therapist told them and announcing the ways their minds work rather than behaving like people, which did annoy me, but I liked the setting and bones of the story, and it was very Christmassy.

1. Loved the tagged book which I read last month and is set in the snowy highlands of Scotland,

2. I am leaving my head teacher role at Easter so a strange year, still not sure what I am doing next but hoping to tour for a few months first (COvID allowing). Exciting yet worrying year 🥳😱

@maich Here are my results for your 2021 challenge!! Since I didn't plan ahead, seven checkmarks feels pretty good haha I really enjoyed seeing if I ended up reading a book that matches each month's prompt. Thanks for hosting - can't wait to see the 2022 prompts!! #ReadingWithMaja

Another excellent Christmas themed book by Sarah Morgan, she really does relationship books really well. This one about a breakdown in relationships between a mother and two daughters, who after a five year separation in the relationship do Christmas together. As always excellently written.

Sarah Morgan is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine. I genuinely loved this story. Morgan focuses on forgiveness and moving forward, and the understanding that becomes possible when we are willing to step back and look at a situation from someone else's perspective. I'm not usually a fan of books categorized as women's fiction because they tend to be depressing as hell, but Morgan tackles complicated family issues in a way that makes me feel ⬇️

A sweet Christmas story. I felt the romance was a little underdeveloped but the main plot was quite well done. A stronger editor would have helped in a few spots - no American is going to call something a “cookery book”

Starting a new audiobook, and going with Sarah Morgan, many of whose books I have enjoyed this year.

Took mom to the local bookstore for #SmallBusinessSaturday and saw this mystery bag of Christmas Romances for $5!! Perfect for #wintergames2021 and beyond! 🎄 📚 ❤️

I couldn't put this down. I loved everything about it - the characters, the story, the writing. It's the perfect Christmas read. ❤️ #christmas #romance

It's a snuggle under a blankie and read kind of day. 🤓🐶❤️

One more for Christmas by Sarah Morgan is a feel-good Christmas story worthy of the Hallmark channel 😁 Sisters Samantha & Ella Love everything about Christmas, spending it together every year making up for everything their childhood Christmas's lacked. They haven't spoken with their mother Gayle for years but when Gail suffers an accident & her daughters go to her side, they begin to tentatively move forward into a new phase of their cont...

For sisters Samantha and Ella-Christmas was special-magical and it had nothing to do with their Bah Humbug power Mogul mother, Gayle. Now grown & estranged the past 5 years from their mother, find themselves spending CHRISTMAS in Scotland! Samantha wisks the family to Scotland to check out a possible high-end vacation spot at a large estate in need of some creative possibilities. It's traditional highlands sprinkled with hope, healing, & romance❤️

This is my TBR for #WinterGames2020. Go Team #MerryReaders! ☝️📣
I'm getting quite excited for December 1st!

Morgan‘s #holidayreads are literally one of the best things about the #Christmas season. This one is more women‘s fiction than romance, but there is a romance present. The story is about re-examining the past and being open to the future. The complicated relationship between Gayle and her daughters Samantha and Ella really spoke to me, as I could see my own family through them. The snow and Christmas trees are so festive!! #ReadYourWay #NetGalley

I'm a big fan of Sarah Morgan so knew this would be a good read and it didn't disappoint at all. The plot is well written and the ending is perfect. The idea of a Christmas in the Scottish Highlands is perfect. The images created through this just instantly draw you in. I loved Ella and Sam but Mary was by far my favourite character. She added the depth and perspective needed for Gayle. #Netgalley 5*

⭐️⭐️⭐️ A great Christmas story of redemption: Gayle is successful, so successful that she‘s written two books telling other women how to do it, but she has a secret, two daughters that she has spoken to for five years. Can a family Christmas in the Scottish Highlands bring harmony to their family?

When will I learn to stop going on a NetGalley binge ~ ordered so many, have been approved for all and all have October deadlines. Hopefully when the kids go back next week I can crack on with these. 📖

Getting into the festive mood a little early with this ARC from NetGalley #Christmas2020
